An unidentified Apache woman weaving a burden basket. These types of baskets were traditionally woven in a twined technique using cottonwood or willow, then finished with leather straps and tin cone tinklers. The burden basket was used by the Apache women for carrying; either when moving from camp to camp, gathering firewood, or returning from a trip to the trading post. The basket was worn on the back with the tump line (leather strap) across the forehead to bear the weight of the burden.
Burden baskets were also used in the Sunrise Ceremony, marking a young girls passage into womanhood and were filled with gifts and food for the child's godmother. The basket marks the course of the young girl's race, which is a part of the ceremony during which the young girl must run Eastward at dawn. Burden baskets were made in a variety of sizes and shapes.
